Maybe I hate 360 or maybe I love Heavy Rain a little too much, but Alan Wake looks like crap in comparison IMO. It looks closer to Indigo Prophecy than what Heavy Rain hopefully is.

You sir are crazy. I'll guarantee Alan Wake will be much better received and just a superior game. Graphically, it doesnt even look like a 360 game, it's bound to be the prettiest game on the console upon release and the controls are said to be incredibly responsive with extremely polished animations. Those guys at Remedy know how to make exceptional games.

While I want Heavy Rain so bad...a lot of people wont like it because, the entire game is made up of quick time events, just like Indigo Prophecy. One of my favorite games ever, by the way. I also love David Cage (my favorite) and Quantic Dream but, I can def. see a lot of people returning it to the store when they realize it's all QTE's.

Both are heaviliy story based games by two of my favorite developers. I've been waiting for both for sooooooo long. But I def. think Alan Wake will end up being the better game when it's said and done. The atmosphere should be phenominal.

Yeah, that graphics look great. I don't know though. The whole point of Heavy Rain is to give a different gaming experience, and I think they're going to accomplish that. What Alan Wake is doing, while much nicer, has been done before. Plus, I just like that Heavy Rain is centered around more realistic events, while Wake kind of reminds me of the thriller version of that Will Ferrell movie.

I agree though. I see Wake being more appreciated by the gaming community because it's more of a "game".

Both are rather, I dont know revolutionary, really. Heavy Rain is basically expanded upon what they started in Indigo Prophecy but, with some crazy new control scheme. R2 to move? Weird, but interesting. A playable movie more so than a video game. David Cage is all about realism so, I'm loving that and hopefully we'll see some emotion that we've never seen in video games to this point. It's also pretty sweet that the one main character has a bit of a drug problem and that can greatly effect what's going on.

Alan Wake on the other hand is trying to go with more of a movie route as well but with much more actual playing involved. Hitchcockian esque...an open world game in a Silent Hill kind of mold but, so much more in terms of story and atmosphere. A true psychological thriller in game form. This open world is also supposed to be beyond massive, like the biggest ever. It remains to be seen how they'll keep you busy, though...because you'd imagine it may get boring just driving around this huge map or running through the forest. haha.

Heavy Rain hasn't been given a release date yet. I know that guy said next year but I'll wait for Sony to say when.
Also, an unannounced game will be announced sometime today.

Think all the E3 surprises are over? Think again! According to the E3 schedule, [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Sony[/COLOR][/COLOR] will have an unannounced title revealed tomorrow. At this time, the title is not known, although it's rumored to be "big". Stay tuned on PlayStation LifeStyle for this announcement, coming Wednesday, June 3rd.

I was watching trailers on the Batman game and that looks pretty sweet. I just love that they brought back a bunch of VAs from the cartoon. It looked kind of easy, but I assume those were all on the first levels and on a relatively easy difficulty. For now though, it potentially looks like a game based off a comic book that might actually be good.
